“Ego” is a 2019 collaboration between Uffie, producers Ariel Pink, Chris Carroll, and Jackson Wise, and visual artist Jam Sutton. The song was accompanied by a virtual reality version of the sculpture in the track’s artwork, courtesy of Sutton’s design studio app.
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at nighttime
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at night
And when the day time starts to feel like nighttime, I'm all alone in mine
I rub my key back and forth
I rub my key back and forth
Sometimes I'm hot, then I'm cold
Sometimes I'm hot, should I go?
I rub my key back and forth
I rub my key back and forth
I push the pedal to the floor
I push the pedal and let go
Laying by a fireplace, touch a flame, doesn't burn
Ice dripping out my eyes, diamond fire, popsicles
And the white flag mountain in my hand
Shadows ten feet tall in my head
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at nighttime
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at night
And when the day time starts to feel like nighttime, I'm all alone in mine
I rub my key back and forth
I rub my key back and forth
Sometimes I'm hot, then I'm cold
Sometimes I'm hot, should I go?
I rub my key back and forth
I rub my key back and forth
I push the pedal to the floor
I push the pedal and let go
Laying by a fireplace, touch a flame, doesn't burn
Ice dripping out my eyes, diamond fire, popsicles
And the white flag mountain in my hand
Shadows ten feet tall in my head
Whenever I walk past you I feel like a ghost
Whenever I see you I feel so alone
I guess I'm invisible to you, oh oh, oh oh, oh
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
You and me know some sheep can't sink their teeth into a wolf
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at nighttime
Sometimes I feel shy, all alone at night
And when the day time starts to feel like night time, I'm all alone in mine
Ego was written by Ariel Pink & Chris Carroll & HOMI & Uffie.
Ego was produced by Ariel Pink.
In an interview with Enfnts Terribles, Uffie said:
I almost hesitated to call “Ego” a song… it was such an experience and journey making it. The song is about Ego, Shadow, and Self (a continuation of what the actual marble statue is based on). I wanted to capture the three layers through different...
